For over 130 years, University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) has stood with Texas – training today and tomorrow's health care workforce; working to better understand and treat illness and injury; providing care; and innovating new ways to improve health. With 1,000+ faculty in 50 departments serving 800 undergraduates and 3,000 graduate and professional students, UTMB Health is a $3B academic system comprising six hospitals, close to 100 outpatient clinics, and schools of Medicine, Nursing, Health Professions, Public and Population Health, and Graduate Biomedical Sciences.

A former NCI-designated oncology center, UTMB Galveston is emerging from a clinical collaboration agreement and the Division of Medical Oncology and Hematology is in a rebuilding mode. Over the next two to three years, the new Chief of Medical Oncology and Hematology (CMOH) will firmly establish a successful and innovative enterprise that merits the NCI designation by recruiting oncologists and structuring services to be productive, efficient, technology-enhanced, and delivering the highest-quality patient care. The reconstituted Medical Oncology Division is a key strategic initiative and priority for UTMB.

With an enviable record of achievement, the CMOH will be a highly respected leader and innovator who understands the issues and opportunities in today’s academic healthcare environment, including the productive integration of clinical, education, and research initiatives. An entrepreneurial builder by nature and a strategic problem solver, you define issues, lay out options, and deliver results on-time and on-budget. A team-builder and leader, you will attract and recruit exceptional talent to work together constructively to provide the highest-quality patient care and clinical efficiency to an established and growing roster of patients.

The successful candidate will be a leader who is board-certified in medical oncology, with deep understanding of the nature and administration of a complex, multi-venue hospital/medical school. Honest, approachable, collaborative, and adaptive, the CMOH will be committed to UTMB’s vision of defining the future of health care – and to be the best.

Salary will be commensurate with Academic rank, qualifications, experience, and educational background. In addition, UTMB offers a superior benefits package, an excellent retirement program, a relocation allowance, as well as many other potential incentives.

UTMB Health encompasses four campuses with a total of six hospitals, and includes an extensive network of 95 primary, specialty, and urgent care clinics in 60 locations throughout a nine-county region in Southeast Texas, including Galveston, Brazoria and Harris counties. In 2022, UTMB Health recorded 1.6 million outpatient encounters, more than 40,000 hospital discharges, over 128,000 emergency room visits and 6,400 deliveries in its Labor and Delivery units. This comprehensive Health System provides a full range of care, from the most basic health maintenance to advanced care for complex conditions. In addition, UTMB Health operates 13 Regional Women’s Services and Pediatrics clinics across the state to provide essential services to medically underserved women, and is one of the largest such programs in the state with more than 210,000 visits annually.

UTMB strives to provide equal opportunity employment without regard to race, color, national origin, sex, age, religion, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, genetic information or veteran status. As a VEVRAA federal contractor, the university takes affirmative action to hire and advance women, minorities, protected veterans and individuals with disabilities.
